Fortunately, there was no movement outside the house soon, but it was Shen Yuyao, the third girl from the house, who came over.

Shen Yuyao is the daughter of the old lady's in-law, and the old lady was more than thirty years old before Lao Beng Hanzhu gave birth to this daughter. It is not an exaggeration to say that Shen Yuyao is the top of the old lady's heart and eyes. Especially when she was five or six years old, the old lady lost her husband, Shen Yuyao has lost her father's love since then, and the old lady feels that her daughter's life is miserable, and she regards it more and more like a treasure.

Not only did the old lady love this young girl, but even the three brothers, Shen Tingjun, Shen Tingyi, and Shen Tinglan, also took pity on her for losing her father at a young age, and she was spoiled.

The three girls are already spoiled, and from then on, they want the stars not to give the moon, and the only thing in life is unsatisfactory, and they are young and sluggish.

The three girls are innocent, there is a shallow dimple on her face, and there is a different kind of blessing when she smiles and fills her cheeks. As soon as she entered the Heyan Hall, the whole courtyard was lively.

The three girls first greeted their mother, then met their brothers, and then greeted their two sisters-in-law, and greeted several nephews and nieces one by one.

She was so busy that she turned around the room, and if it was someone else, the old lady would have been dizzy and would have let An Sheng have some life. But this is the meat that fell from her body, the old lady took pity on her a few days ago, and her body was uncomfortable, and now the child is willing to come out for activities, and she is happy, so she doesn't bother to talk about her.

Shen Yuyao and everyone in the room exchanged pleasantries, and then they puffed out their cheeks with baby fat and smiled to the eldest brother who was drinking tea.

The eldest brother's facial lines are clear and clear, and there is a different kind of alienation and indifference. When he looked at people with deep eyes, he felt a strong sense of oppression, and he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.

To tell the truth, Shen Yuyao dared to mess around in front of the second brother and sprinkle in front of the third brother, but in front of the eldest brother, she couldn't help but be concerned, not to mention obsessing him to satisfy her wishes, and even speaking carefully.

Although he knows that the eldest brother also loves himself, as long as he asks for it, the eldest brother never fails to give it. But the eldest brother has a strong majesty, which makes people dare not make a mistake in front of him.

Shen Yuyao smiled at the eldest brother, and her cheeks were sour, only to see the eldest brother roll his eyelids and look at her, "What's the matter?" ”

"Hehe, big brother, I remember that His Majesty gave you a lot of Dongzhu in the early years, yes or no?"

Shen Tingjun: "It's all given to your mother, if you want to use it, ask your mother." ”

Shen Yuyao continued to laugh, "Mother gave me everything there, it's not, I've used it all these years." In the past few days, I just wanted to make a pair of embroidered shoes with Dongzhu, but I couldn't find two after rummaging through the warehouse. I just want to ask, big brother, where do you still have? ”

Shen Tingjun responded lightly, "No." ”

Shen Yuyao was like being struck by lightning, her white cheeks were full of dejection, and even her ruddy mouth was flattened.

Shen Tingjun saw that his sister was pitiful, his eyes were full of disappointment, and he finally said, "Where do I still have a box of Nanzhu, if you are useful, I will give it to you." ”

Shen Yuyao turned from sadness to joy, and suddenly smiled, and shouted like a chicken pecking rice, "I want it!" "I didn't forget to pat my eldest brother's ass when I was done, "I knew that my eldest brother was the best for me." ”

The old lady, the second lady, and the third lady listened to the conversation between the brother and sister in their ears, and the second lady seemed to be envious in her heart, and Zhou Baolu was even more jealous and twisted the veil. I thought that the Hou Mansion had not been separated yet, should the eldest brother's things be in the big treasury? How can I give it all to my sister-in-law? It stands to reason that they should be given three rooms.

But she didn't dare to show her thoughts, just because the eldest brother was not the prince of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, but the real helmsman of the Hou Mansion. The eldest brother is the Marquis of Wu'an, everything in this mansion belongs to the eldest brother, if it weren't for the old lady still alive, they wouldn't even have the right to live in the Hou Mansion.

The two daughters-in-law thought about it, but the old lady showed an expression that couldn't bear to look at it directly, "The stinky girl knows what to coax your eldest brother." What a good Nanzhu, you took it to sew and embroidered shoes, and I never saw you waste things like this. ”

"Who's ruining things?" Suddenly, a laughing woman's voice sounded outside the door, and at the same time, there was also the voice of the maid asking for peace, "Mrs. Aunt, are you here?" My cousin is here too? The old lady was still thinking about you yesterday, please come to the house. ”

Later, the curtain of the door was raised, and sure enough, Mrs. Gu walked in with a woman wearing an apricot-colored shirt, with a beautiful posture and a slender figure.

In the house, except for the old lady, everyone stood up to salute, and Mrs. Gu's rich cheeks were smiling, and when she saw Shen Tingjun also in front of her, Mrs. Gu couldn't close her mouth even more happily.

Pulling the daughter beside her, Mrs. Gu opened her mouth and said, "Xiuwen's landscape painting is always not good, last time my nephew told me the trick, I relayed it to Xiuwen, Xiuwen has been studying hard for the past two months, but I don't know if I didn't understand the nephew's meaning, or I am a little talented, and I always paint unsatisfactory." It just so happens that my nephew is resting today, and I happened to meet him again, can my nephew personally give me some guidance later? ”

In the silence of the house, he pulled Xiuwen, whose face seemed to be dyed with clouds, "Your cousin is busy all day and has no time, so I finally have a day off today, and I have to guide you to paint." Xiuwen, you will make a sachet and give it to your eldest cousin as a thank you, but don't forget it. ”

The woman named Xiuwen is about ten years old, standing beside her mother shyly at this time, the pair of apricot eyes want to say and look at the cousin who is close to her, and a puddle of spring water quickly rises in her eyes.

Wang Xiuwen is the old daughter of Mrs. Gu, who just finished her twentieth birthday last month. She is not married at this age, which is really rare.

Although at the beginning of the new dynasty, both Taizu and Empress Sheng Zhaoming proposed that the girl should not marry until she reached the age of eighteen. Most of the eunuchs kept the girls until eighteen. But it is also stuck, all of them have completed the rest of the ceremonies before the girl is eighteen years old, and as soon as the girl passes the eighteenth birthday, she will marry off immediately.

Until now, it has gradually become a custom, and most girls marry at the age of eighteen. It's not that there are those who have dragged on to twenty, but most of them have unspeakable secrets.

Like Wang Xiuwen, she has no disease, good looks, and is still loved at home, she is not married at this age, she can only say that she ...... The plotter is great.

And what they want to get is very simple, it is nothing more than the position of Mrs. Wu'anhou.

In the first two years, even if Mrs. Gu did it intentionally, she didn't dare to say such a straightforward thing in front of her nephew. But Wang Xiuwen is more than a year old, and she really can't be delayed, so there is today's scene - Mrs. Gu made it clear that the carriage and horse wanted to put the two together, even if the food was ugly, it had to achieve the goal.

But without waiting for Mrs. Gu to explain anything else, a magnetic and indifferent voice sounded in the room. Shen Tingjun's eyes were condensed, and his tone was indifferent and unkind, "Today, my friends in the same department have the joy of making Zhang, and my nephew will go out." If my aunt asks for something, she might as well bother my mother later. There is a female painter in the house who is good at painting, and it is cheaper for her to guide her cousin. ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Mrs. Tieqing's face, as well as Wang Xiuwen's expression of shame and indignation and tears, and explained a few words to the old lady, and then walked out of the gate of Heyan Hall.
